Tannhäuser Thursday Bonus - Hellboy Upgraded



There are two bits of news today. First off, I have collected the BPRD characters onto their own page for easy reference - look for the Tannhäuser BPRD link under the banner.

Secondly, with the frightening appearance of Asteros and his mighty stats (along with several players that indicated that Hellboy may be too weak) I have upgraded Hellboy. While his stats still do not equal Asteros', Hellboy has good ranged attacks and this should put him on better footing.

Tannhäuser Tuesday - News and BPRD Field Agent Two

HOT NEWS - New official Fantasy Flight Releases keep on coming. The new releases - Wolf reissued and the Hoax single figure pack should be in stores NOW. I will do a news report next week if I can get my hands on those figure. The Daedalus Map pack should be for sale by next week, and the Asteros the Minotaur figure pack is listed as being on the truck - so that should be in stores within a few weeks.

The Daedalus rules have been (partially) posted byFFG - here are a few highlights...






Finally, the last two TOY designed pieces that we know of, Hoss Harbinger and Oksana are at the Factory now. Let's get back to our regularly scheduled feature...

Thanks again to Miah for the tokens. Unless I hear howls of protest this will be the last character sheet on this particular template. I will be switching to the single page one developed with/by Miah for future characters.

Tannhäuser Tuesday - B.P.R.D. Field Agents




B.P.R.D. Field Agents



BPRD Field Agent One uses the Joe Diamond figure from Fantasy Flight Games' Arkham Horror Investigators miniatures line. These are 25-30mm prepainted figures for use with the Arkham Horror and Mansions of Madness board games. The figures are good pulp era  figures that will find use in many rpgs and minis games. They are $4 each, whis is an OK price for the quality, which is average. As you can see there is some flash and Joe is a little smaller than he should be. The bases are a bit thinner than the Tannhäuser ones, but I don't see the need to replace them. They are close enough. I'll have a further review of the figures later. 

Joe's offense comes from his twin .45s that blaze into action. He fast on the draw and has been known to take down multiple targets with his trusty .45s.





BPRD Field Agent Two is represented by the Mike McGlen figure, also from the Arkham Investigators set. Mike's got a Thompson sub machine gun, a .45 caliber death machine. There are many figures available that would work as field agents, so feel free to substitute any appropriate figure.

Tannhäuser Tuesday - Hellboy Pt 3

Here are the tokens for Hellboy. 




I received some comments from old pal Rhydderch about the Hellboy powers and agree with some of his points so there will be a tweak to his Character 2-Page Sheet. I'll get that up next week. 

If you have any comments on Hellboy or any of the other BPRD, let me know as I am looking to move on.

I'll be working on the Agent card next. It'll be a twofer - both agents will have the same powers, but there will be two cards for two different figures.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Tannhäuser Tuesday - BPRD - Roger the Homunculus Complete

Sneak Peek of the BPRD on the Daedalus Map


Roger the Homunculus

Roger gets a few extra tokens due to his grenade powers. He starts with two of each kind, but can not gain any more during the game.

Tannhäuser Tuesday - BPRD - Roger the Homunculus

I'm working on it! I think I've posted all the finished cards and now I'm working on the new ones. These take at least 5 - 10 hours each. I'll put it up Roger when I'm done. Here are a couple of sneak previews...


The BPRD has planted a bomb inside Roger. This bomb must detonate if certain conditions are met. I finished the bomb icon, but as you can see the language still needs adapting to the new rules.


The Gauss Gun graphic is done - red strip needs to be removed and language needs to be adjusted.

The Power Cell is in good shape, only needing a drop shadow behind the icon.

Incredible Strength needs a drop shadow behind the icon and the language to match the revised edition rules.

I still need to finish the bio and finish filling in the other packs. I know all the items, but need to finish graphics and text.

Tannhäuser Tuesday - Lobster Johnson Revised


Hellboy & The B.P.R.D.
Part 1

The Lobster






I Just Can't Stop the Uchronic!!!

Tannhäuser Tuesday - Roger



The U-Chronic History
of
Roger the Homunculus



What can be said about our dear departed Roger...

He was a kind soul that we cannot believe is truly gone because he was dead when we met him. Even though he was blasted to bits in The Black Flame, we know he will return, but only when the time is right and when Mike Mignola and John Arcudi figure out why he needs to come back.


It is easier for us in the U-Chronic world, because history has changed. Roger was not discovered in March 1997 by Liz Sherman, but instead found in 1947 by Trevor Bruttenholm and Hellboy in the ruins of Czege Castle. Hellboy calls the inanimate homunculus Roger. They brought him back to Connecticut where he is put in storage.

Less than a year later, a teenaged girl is brought in to the BPRD HQ. The girl get loose from her handlers and escapes down into the storage catacombs of the base. The agents chase her down and in her fright she explodes in a massive fireball. The agents are killed, but the girl and Roger survive.



The energy seems to have jump-started Roger and he comes to life. It doesn't last long, but the BPRD scientists soon fit a generator to his chest hole and power him back to life. Only at the highest levels of the BPRD is it known that there is a bomb contained within the generator.

Roger learns that in times of war people move up quickly. He becomes an agent in the fall of '49.



ROGER'S TOKENS


SPECIAL OBJECT
The Secret Bomb - The BPRD has hidden a bomb in Roger's Power Cell. Roger has a Power Cell even if the BR-66 Power Cell is not chosen.
The BPRD will explode the bomb automatically under the following circumstances: 1) If Roger kills a BPRD or Union figure the bomb will go off on the first turn that Roger does not share a path with a BPRD or Union figure. If Roger attacks another BPRD or Union figure the bomb explodes instantly, negating the attack. 2) If exploding the bomb has a chance of winning the game for the BPRD on that turn; i.e. if detonating Roger could kill all of the opponents figures and not kill the majority of the Union or BPRD figures on the board. When the bomb explodes all figures on Roger's path are attacked with 6 dice and regardless of the Shock Roll results will take at least 1 damage.
Roger has a standard Power Cell if the BR-66 Power Cell is not chosen.



COMBAT PACK
BR-66 Power Cell - Roswell-developed Ilirium energy technology gives Roger massive strength and life.
Add 2 to Combat, Stamina, and Movement.

Edison .75 Gauss Assault Gun "Tornado" - This is the most powerful hand-held weapon in the BPRD arsenal.
Type: Heavy Weapon - Each Natural 10 rolled results in 1 additional hit.
This weapon can only be carried by figures with Incredible Strength, Supernatural Strength, or have the Athletic Skill.

Incredible Strength


STAMINA PACK

BR-66 Power Cell - Roswell-developed Ilirium energy technology gives Roger massive strength and life.
Add 2 to Combat, Stamina, and Movement.

Colt .45 1911 A1

Immunity to Pain

MENTAL PACK

M15 Smoke Grenade

MKII A1 Grenade

Colt .45 1911 A1

Tannhäuser Tuesday - Roger the Homunculus


Here is a sneak peek at the Character Card for Roger the Homunculus. I will be adding to Roger in the weeks to come. Here is a look at Roger's figure from the Heroclix BPRD set. In this case he is re-based for HeroScape.




This is the HeroScape card I created. The Tannhäuser version will expand greatly beyond the ideas on this card.

Tannhäuser Tuesday - Hellboy Summer Pack


By littlewars

This month we feature not just one U-Chronic Token of the Month, but an entire alternate pack!


A few weeks ago, Doc Savage and I presented a complete Hellboy character for Tannhäuser Tuesday. We also posted an alternate card for Hellboy. I took to refering to this as his "Summer Pack" card, since Hellboy was clad in his trademark Mignola shorts.

So, in the spirit of the John MacNeal and Eva Kramer Winter Packs, this month we present the Hellboy Summer Pack:


Making Better Tannhäuser Tokens - Part III

Previously I talked about using a circular craft punch to make your Tannhauser tokens. Last Month I posted all the official tokens currently available on the Fantasy Flight Games website with a full bleed, to accommodate the craft punch. This month, I am posting all the remaining untranslated french T.O.Y. tokens with a full bleed. You can download a PDF I made of the unofficial token translations from the Black Sheep Archives site here.


As a bonus this month, the newer token translations that do not appear in the PDF are provided below:

NEW TOKEN OF THE MONTH TRANSLATIONS

French Take On You bonus tokens can be viewed here.

Sgt. 4th Grade
Promoted by Major MacNeal to Sgt. Technician 4th Grade, Sergio Ramirez Delastillas now occupies the post responsible for the weapons of the 42nd Marine Special Forces.

During the Deployment Roll, the rank of Sgt. 4th Grade offers a 2-point bonus to the die result. This bonus is cumulative with bonuses from other ranking characters. This rank replaces the one in Ramirez's Mental Pack.

.54 Caliber Walker Colt
The preferred handgun of the "Hurricanes" of the 82nd Combat Propulsion Unit, this powerful gun fires rounds of special .54 caliber ammuniton. Sergeant Brown surreptitiously acquired one during a brawl at the Fort Tilden Fleet Club.

Type: Close Combat Weapon
During a Combat Roll, the precision of Walker Colt adds a 1-point bonus to the result of each die (except Natural 1s), or 2-point bonus if the target is not separated by more than 3 circles from the attacker.

Dee's Glyph
In the Forbidden Library of Brasov, the original frontispiece of John Dee's Monas Hieroglyphica has been discovered in a secret hiding place. The father of Enochian magic, he had uncovered the Glyph which allowed one to gain the favor of the Upper Worlds.

Before making a roll, declare the use of the Glyph. All Natural 1s count as Successes. The Glyph can only be used once per Turn.

Mechanischer Arm
When troops have suffered serious injuries, they are sometimes treated by the surgeons of the Baron Colonel Reimard Von Karloff. The casualty is then incorporated into the dreaded Iron Division. Only Schocktruppen of the 13th Occult Division can rejoin their original unit, but at what price…

This prosthesis increases the strength and usefulness of the original limb. The Schocktruppen can, by spending an Action Phase, carry out one of these two tasks, on an adjacent circle, on the same Path:
- Remove a Smoke Screen Token and immediately place it on any other circle on their Path.
- Remove a Debris Token from the board that was placed during the game as a result of a Grenade weapon. A token with a 1-point penalty is immediately discarded. A token with a 2-point penalty is replaced by a 1-point token. Then, if the Schocktruppen spends another action, consecutive or not, the token will then be discarded.

IRINA KRAVCHENKO - SPIRITUAL GUIDE PACK TRANSLATION

Irina's Spiritual Pack card can be viewed here.

Volt-Nagant
Irina's 1920 Nagant was modified by Prime Steltsy Voronin to reproduce the effects of the Volta Gun. The Volt-Nagant simultaneously fires 7.62mm guage ammunition and produces a low amperage electrical discharge.

Type: Close Combat Weapon
During a Combat Roll, the precision of the Volt-Nagant allows the firer to add a 1-point bonus to the result of each die (except Natural 1s). Also, any successful Combat Roll is enough to detonate a Meteop attached to the target.

Reliquary Of Rurik
Son of Haffdarne, the military chieftain of the steppes of Central Europe, in 862 he became the first Prince of Novgorod. The reliquary was entrusted by Prince Metropolite Bukharha to Irina for the Svarog Project.

Consider her Stamina Characteristic column to have the following
Values: 5, 4, 4, 4.

Spiritual Guide
As the Black Angel reveals the meanings of old Krygyz poems, Irina becomes, a little more each day, the new Spiritual Guide of the Matriarchy.

Before the beginning of the game, characters allied with Irina may make a custom Pack and retain their Special Item. Spiritual Guide does not apply to Irina.
